Really liked the King Yen Special Chicken 🌶️ , which sits on a garnish of spinach. The spinach is REALLY good in the sauce-- I'd call it a mix between a szechuan and general tzos sauce. I wish they had more vegetables in the meal or a basic vegetable side for purchase (instead of rice). Instead I ordered the dinner portion of Steamed Assorted Vegetables. A nice mix of steamed, unflavored peas, spinach, bok choy, and broccoli, but way too expensive ($20).

The best cozy comfort Chinese food in Berkeley. Huge portions that hit the spot every time. Love King Yen Special anything and shredded pork and they do all classics well! Family's been coming here for generations.

King Yen has always been my favorite Chinese restaurant. Been solid for decades. Nothing tops it. Dishes have high quality ingredients - chicken breast and lots of veggies. Best spring rolls ever. Our other favorites are the chicken lettuce wraps, Kung Pao Chicken 🌶️, generals chicken, sizzling rice soup, and Steamed Shrimp Dumplings.
